Dear Friends,

Welcome to the World Meeting of Families – Philadelphia 2015! It is an honor to welcome the world to Philadelphia, a city founded as a Holy Experiment and the birthplace of religious freedom in the United States.
Saint John Paul II, hailed as the Pope of the Family, created the World Meeting of Families in 1994 in Rome to explore the critical role the family plays in society and to give families opportunities to talk about the challenges and blessings that all families have.
Our theme, “Love Is Our Mission: The Family Fully Alive” was inspired by the early Church Father, St. Irenaeus, who wrote “the Glory of God is man fully alive.” The glory of men and women is their capacity to love as God loves—and no better means exists to teach the meaning of love than the family. His Holiness, Pope Francis also inspired the theme. He embodies the message of mercy, joy and love at the heart of the Gospel.
I was in Milan for the conclusion of the previous World Meeting of Families and it was a joy to see how it inspired and energized everyone who participated. We are excited to see how this theme will inspire YOU and all that will happen during the week of September 22-27, 2015.
Sincerely yours in Christ,

 
Archbishop Charles J. Chaput
